XII Olympic Football Tournament

Qualifying Stage — Game Details (SPAIN)

*NOTE: The Spanish olympic squad was made up of amateur players (aficionados), who played mostly in minor leagues or B teams. For this reason, and for the sake of clarity, the names of their clubs are indicated in square brackets (only in the player’s first appearance). On the other hand, during the Pre-Olympic Tournament FIFA introduced, experimentally, the regulated substitution of one player during the games (later, in the final stage of the Olympic Tournament in Mexico, two substitutions per game will be allowed).
